Cara Delevingne is stepping into the sparkly shoes of Elton John in the music video for “Step Into Christmas”! Yes, you heard that right! It’s like if Santa Claus got a glam makeover and decided to drop some beats instead of just gifts.
This festive frolic reimagines the behind-the-scenes chaos of Elton’s legendary 1973 video. Picture it: a production crew frantically trying to deck the halls before Elton arrives. They’re all like, “More tinsel! Less chaos!” But chaos is the name of the game! First, there’s a rogue turkey running amok like it’s auditioning for “Dancing with the Stars,” then they forget to book a reindeer—like, seriously, who drops the ball on that? And just when you think it can’t get crazier, a deranged fan crashes the party! If this is what “getting into the holiday spirit” looks like, someone pass the eggnog!
Elton himself chimed in, saying, “I saw Cara at Glastonbury last summer, and we had a chat about how much we’d love to work together. I mean, who wouldn’t want to team up with someone who’s as hilarious as a cat in a Christmas sweater? When the idea came up for her to play me in this wacky homage to the 1973 ‘Step Into Christmas’ video, I knew it was a match made in holiday heaven. Thank goodness Cara agreed, or I might have had to recruit a very confused turkey instead!”
And Cara? Oh, she was over the moon! “Elton has always been my idol. To say his music has profoundly affected me is like saying a Christmas tree has a few ornaments. It’s a massive understatement! When he asked me to play him in this recreation, I was like, ‘Where do I sign?’ Honestly, I’d love to channel my inner Elton every single day. Maybe one day he’ll return the favor and star in my totally made-up, not-yet-pitched biopic. I mean, fingers crossed, right?”
Originally released on November 23, 1973, “Step Into Christmas” took the world by storm, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart in the US and cruising to No. 24 on the UK Singles Chart.
So, grab your hot cocoa, pop some popcorn, and get ready to watch the hilarious new music video that’s sure to spread more cheer than a jolly old elf on Christmas Eve!
